Depends on the difference in money and player. Manning will likely make around 7 times as much in one year as Tebow would make over the NEXT THREE.

That difference is likely good for at least 3-4 elite players at other positions. Possibly more depending on what positions.

And that's not even getting into signing Peyton's nursing home buddies.

Williams is an elite player. He should be making between 15 and 20 million bucks this season. Damn near what Manning will be making and you think we can land another 2 or 3 elite players on top of that? I really would like to see what 3-4 elite players you can put together to equal what Manning will make.

We will see when it is said in done. Nicks wants more then a 6 year 51 million dollar deal. That's what? A base about 8.5 per year on that deal. Johnathan Joseph signed a 5 year 48.75 million with 23.5 guaranteed. The Skins got a good deal with Barry Cofield. 6 years 36 million. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d...-richest-guard

Yup, as if going 10-6 with Manning and winning a playoff game would be a "failure", but going 6-10 with Tebow would somehow be a "success". Superior logic at work.

Who exactly claimed that 6-10 would be a success? You do realize Tebow was 7-4 last season, right? Why would you argue that the Manning trade isn't a failure if the team doesn't improve? 10-6, with one playoff win, would be a disaster...

^ Come on, jhns, you can figure this out. The oft repeated nonsense is that anything short of a Super Bowl title is a failure for the PM acquisition. My plainly obvious point is that if the team improves that's a "success".

Exactly. Approx 20 mill per season for ALL THREE. That's Peyton Manning money... less actually.

You can swap JJ with Carr... he'll probably go a little cheaper. I'm thinking 6 mill per year, keep Nicks, and Solai for Cofield (Solai will prob be 2 mill per year cheaper actually)... all will go for about 18 million. So likely we could not only fit all 3, but even fit another pro-bowl caliber starter under the umbrella of what Peyton costs.

Paul Soliai isn't all that impressive to me. I think he is solid don't get me wrong but Cofield can rush the passer so he should get paid more. Carr I like, I think he is worth the money. Still it's a lot for a number 2 CB. I like a guy like Marcus Trufant who will be cheaper.

Really if it was Cofield, JJ, and Nicks then yeah I would take them over Manning but, Soliai just doesn't wow me even more so given the fact that I think we can get a number two CB cheaper.

^ Come on, jhns, you can figure this out. The oft repeated nonsense is that anything short of a Super Bowl title is a failure for the PM acquisition. My plainly obvious point is that if the team improves that's a "success".

And none of this explains the stupidity of that post.

Who said 6-10 would be a success? How is no improvement, an argument that improvement is a success?

1:24 PM Albert Breer: Titans group that will meeting with Peyton Manning will be headed up by head coach Mike Munchak and offensive coordinator Chris Palmer. Munchak's a very good recruiter -- Big reason Hasselbeck signed. And Palmer coached Eli in New York from 2007-09. Just to clear this up (not a big deal) ... Reporting that Palmer/Munchak will meet with Titans today or tomorrow. Location not clear. https://twitter.com/#!/AlbertBreer/s...08359622815744

Now I think it's actually going happen. Denver's FO obviously wants him and we have more cap room than any other team in contention. He's obviously interested or he wouldn't have bothered flying out. Unless DJ or Sauced runs over him in the parking lot, I think it's going to happen before the week is out.

We can bicker about semantics, but the point is, I've just showed you multiple examples of fitting several great players in the same $ as 1 neck-fused 36 y/o Peyton Manning.

I love him, and I won't lament the signing if it happens (which I vehemently believe it won't), but I do think there's a better approach towards building the TEAM with the $ that's apparently available to the FO.

Well it sounds like Denver is going after it's needs regardless of what Manning does so it's a good day in Denver.

So you can't answer the simple questions? Does this mean you are finally starting to realize how dumb you are?

Change game forever? he will bounce around the league and will never amount to nothing with his weak passing game.

I'm a doubter on Tebow esp here. I think its for Tebow's FO and fans best interests if this era ends this offseason. Even if I believe Tebow's ceiling is low right now I have no idea how much better he will get over time. I think he should go to Jax start over. If it's org is willing to embrace him maybe they will back him and he'll be a rock star in FL. This FO isn't on board with him why drag it out. The Tebow fans around the country will follow him.

I will root for him to succeed he's a great guy. He just isn't what I want as a QB for the Broncos.

2:31 PM Dave Hyde: Peyton Manning and his CAA agency have played this timeline perfectly. I wondered why he was released last Wednesday when it could've been two weeks earlier and given plenty of time to make his decision before free agency. But the deadline of free agency has created a competitive feeding frenzy and deadline where Manning's going to get everyone's best deals. He must have them in hand now. The only question is if he's going to push past the 4 p.m. deadline for more money. Yes, it's also about $$$ http://www.sulia.com/channel/nfl-fre...-5656b30ddbe4/
